Aggressive Angiomyxoma: A Rare Tumor of Male Pelvic Cavity.

Aggressive angiomyxoma is an uncommon, benign, slow-growing, and locally infiltrative soft tissue neoplasm which is located primarily in the genital region and pelviperineal interstitial tissue of female patient in the fourth decade of life. Its occurrence in male patients is even more unusual and commonly appears at a later age. The mainstay of treatment typically involves surgical excision with tumor-free margins, and despite complete resection, local recurrences are common. Here, an unusual case of aggressive angiomyxoma occurring in the pelvic region of a 55-year-old man and its treatment is discussed due to its rarity.

O angiomixoma agressivo é uma neoplasia benigna rara, de crescimento lento, localmente infiltrativa que se localiza primariamente no tecido intersticial da região genital, pélvica e perineal de doentes do sexo feminino na quarta década de vida. O aparecimento em doentes do sexo masculino é ainda mais incomum e habitualmente aparece em idade mais avançada. O tratamento tipicamente envolve a excisão cirúrgica com margens livres e, apesar da ressecção completa, a recidiva local é comum. Apresentamos o caso clínico raro de angiomixoma agressivo na região pélvica de um homem de 55 anos de idade bem como o seu tratamento.

Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma of the Breast: A Clinical Case Report.

INTRODUCTION: Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) is an uncommon tumor of the breast, accounting for approximately 0.1% to 1% of all breast cancers. It is characterized by rare lymph node involvement and distant metastasis, and associated with a favorable prognosis with excellent survival, despite its triple-negative status. In the current state of knowledge, results of breast-conserving treatment with postoperative radiotherapy seem to be equivalent to mastectomy alone, with respect to survival for ACC of the breast. Due to its rarity, there is no consensus on optimal treatment for patients with ACC. Otherwise, the role of chemotherapy and hormonal therapy remains controversial. Further clinical studies are required to compare treatment options for ACC. But, a long-term follow-up is very important and mandatory for affected patients, due to the late onset of local relapse and occurrence of distant metastasis. CASE REPORT: Here, we report the case of a patient who presented with a palpable breast mass in the left breast that turned out to be an ACC of the breast.
